Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving the Sale of $2,195,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds of 2001. 3. Adjourn. www.cityofpriorlake.com I II W Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 . I ri INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND: DISCUSSION: STAFF AGENDA REPORT APRIL 30, 2001 SPECIAL MEETING RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF $2,195,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS OF 2001 The City Council has scheduled a special meeting for Monday, April 30,2001 at 5:30pm in the Fire Station Council Chambers to consider this issue. Staff and the City's financial consultant Steve Mattson of Juran & Moody have reviewed the City's outstanding bond issues for refunding purposes, as market conditions are quite favorable at this time for refinancing. Current market conditions make it possible for the City to save future debt service dollars by refinancing the General Obligation Improvement Bonds of 1993, 1994, 1995 & 1996 as each of these bond issues will become eligible to be called on June 1, 2001. Originally, these bonds were issued to finance our cooperative share of county road improvements, utilities installation in Waterfront Passage Business Office Park and various street reconstruction projects in 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996. Each of these bond issues has an early call provision that allows refunding to take place assuming the right conditions. To determine if a bond issue qualifies and is feasible for refunding, staff and Juran & Moody examine the following: Call Date Bonds typically have a call date whereby the bond issue may not be retired or refunded until this date occurs. This feature provides assurance to the purchaser that the investment will continue over a minimum time period and protects the investor from losing investment income. Therefore the bond issue must have reached the call date before it can be considered for refinancing. The existing call date for all four ofthese issues is June 1 st of this year. Interest Rate The difference between the bond interest rate and the current market interest rate must be substantial enough for the City to realize a significant net savings after bond issuance expenses. These issues have an aggregate outstanding coupon rate of 4.6828%. We estimate 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (952) 447-4230 / Fax (952) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER _11 J[ I I [I under current market conditions that the new issue would carry a 3.9040% rate thereby decreasing the average coupon rate by more than %%. Refund Size The remaining amount of the bonds to be financed must be great enough to afford the desired savings as a result of a better interest rate. The amount of the proposed refunding would be $2,195,000, which together with interest earnings will cover the principal amount refunded of $2,175,000 plus issuance costs. Bond Issue Term Finally, the length of the bond issue must be long enough to achieve enough of an interest savings to justify the refinancing. If only a few years were left, the time period would not be sufficient. In this particular case, we are actually proposing to eliminate the last two years for the 1993 bond issue while maintaining the years for the 1994-1996 issues which are presently staggered to mature in 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively. It is anticipated that the refunding will require no out-of-pocket city dollars. The issuance expenses amount to approximately $27,600, which when offset with accrued interest will be rolled into the bond issue. Because this is a negotiated sale there is no fiscal fee involved. The advantage of a negotiated versus public sale in a refunding is one of a market timing concern. We can react to economic conditions much more quickly to lock in interest rates as opposed to the longer time period necessary for a public sale. The bid by Juran & Moody will be based upon competitive market rates and a composite of the most recent government bond sales will be provided for comparison purposes. FINANCIAL IMPACT: We estimate a net savings of approximately $32,500 in future debt service payments. Attached is a spreadsheet including the bond details and a cash flow scenario illustrating the annual debt service reduction when comparing the proposed refunding issue with the present issues that have been consolidated for presentation purpose. It is important to recognize that the rate used for calculation was as of 4/23/01 and depending upon the market in the next 7 days, interest rates could either move off or improve slightly, thereby affecting our ultimate savings. ISSUES: Juran and Moody together with Finance department staff have been monitoring market conditions to determine the right time for this and other potential bond refinancing issues. As a result of the four (4) federal discount rate cuts that already occurred this year market conditions now appear to be right to refinance for the benefit of Prior Lake taxpayers. O,IAOlrefund.DOC . 11 I I r AL TERNA TIVES: The following alternatives are available to the City Council: 1. Approve A Resolution Authorizing the Sale of $2,195,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds of 2001. 2. Delay the refinancing until a future time as determined by the City Council. 3. Deny approval of the resolution. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Staff concurs that the refunding of these four (4) bond issues of 1993-96 would be in the best financial interest of the City. Therefore, Staff recommends to the Council the approval of A Resolution Authorizing the Sale of $2,195,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds of 200 1. Steve Mattson will make a brief presentation at the meeting and will address any questions or concerns the City Council may have regarding this refinancing decision.

(b) Book Entry Only System. The Depository Trust Company, a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York or any of its successors or its successors to its functions hereunder (the "Depository") will act as securities depository for the Bonds, and to this end: (i) The Bonds shall be initially issued and, so long as they remain in book entry form only (the "Book Entry Only Period"), shall at all times be in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds; and for purposes of complying with this requirement under paragraphs 5 and 10 Authorized Denominations for any Bond shall be deemed to be limited during the Book Entry Only Period to the outstanding principal amount of that Bond. (ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond register maintained by the Bond Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in the name of CEDE & CO., as the nominee (it or any nominee of the existing or a successor Depository, the "Nominee").

Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, neither the City, nor the Bond Registrar, shall have any such responsibility or obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, or (B) the delivery to any Participant, any Owner or any other person, other than 1279607vl 3 III II I I r 1279607vl III ~ the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or (D) the consent given or other action taken by the Depository as the Registered Holder of any Bonds (the "Holder"). For purposes of securing the vote or consent of any Holder under this Resolution, the City may, however, rely upon an omnibus proxy under which the Depository assigns its consenting or voting rights to certain Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy. (iv) The City and the Bond Registrar may treat as and deem the Depository to be the absolute owner of the Bonds for the purpose of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to the Bonds, for the purpose of obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Holders for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all purpose whatsoever. The Bond Registrar, as paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to the Holder or the Holders of the Bonds as shown on the bond register, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (v) Upon delivery by the Depository to the Bond Registrar of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new Nominee in place of the existing Nominee, and subject to the transfer provisions in paragraph 10 hereof, references to the Nominee hereunder shall refer to such new Nominee. (vi) So long as any Bond is registered in the name of a Nominee, all payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, by the Bond Registrar or City, as the case may be, to the Depository as provided in the Letter of Representations to the Depository required by the Depository as a condition to its acting as book-entry Depository for the Bonds (said Letter of Representations, together with any replacement thereof or amendment or substitute thereto, including any standard procedures or policies referenced therein or applicable thereto respecting the procedures and other matters relating to the Depository's role as book-entry Depository for the Bonds, collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Letter of Representations"). (vii) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in each Bond issued in book-entry form shall be limited in principal amount to Authorized Denominations and shall be effected by procedures by the Depository with the Participants for recording and transferring the ownership of beneficial interests in such Bonds. (viii) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to the Holders pursuant to this Resolution by the City or Bond Registrar with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider the date of receipt of notice requesting such consent or other action as the record date for such 4 . I r consent or other action; provided, that the City or the Bond Registrar may establish a special record date for such consent or other action. The City or the Bond Registrar shall, to the extent possible, give the Depository notice of such special record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such special record date. (ix) Any successor Bond Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under this Resolution and any paying agency/bond registrar agreement, shall agree to take any actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Letter of Representations. (c) Termination of Book-Entry Only System. Discontinuance of a particular Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as follows: (i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The City may terminate the services of the Depository with respect to the Bond if it determines that the Depository is no longer able to carry out its functions as securities depository or the continuation of the system of book-entry transfers through the Depository is not in the best interests of the City or the Beneficial Owners. (ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertake the functions ofthe Depository hereunder can be found which, in the opinion of the City, is willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the City determines that it is in the best interests of the City or the Beneficial Owners of the Bond that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain certificates for the Bonds, the Bonds shall no longer be registered as being registered in the bond register in the narne of the Norninee, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds shall designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 10 hereof. To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with paragraph 10 hereof, the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners. (iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall limit or restrict the provisions of paragraph 10 hereof. (d) Letter of Representations.

(ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertake the functions of the Depository hereunder can be found which, in the opinion of the City, is willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the City determines that it is in the best interests of the City or the Beneficial Owners of the Bond that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain certificates for the Bonds, the Bonds shall no longer be registered as being registered in the bond register in the name of the Nominee, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds shall designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 10 hereof.

E. There is hereby created a special fund to be designated the "General Obligation Refunding Bonds of2001 Fund" (the "Fund") to be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. The Fund shall be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund two (2) separate accounts, to be designated the "Cost of Issuance Account" and "Debt Service Account", respectively. (i) Cost ofIssuance Account. There shall be deposited in the Cost of Issuance Account all of the remaining proceeds of the Bonds not otherwise deposited in the Payment Accounts as provided in paragraphs 15A, B, C and D above, less accrued interest received thereon. Monies in the Cost ofIssuance Account shall be used to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds. Any monies remaining in the Cost of Issuance Account after all costs of issuance have been paid or provided for shall be transferred to the Debt Service Account for the Bonds. (ii) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged to, and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (a) all uncollected 1279607vl 16 III r , 1 I II special assessments pledged to the payment of the Prior Bonds; (b) all accrued interest received upon delivery of the Bonds; (c) any collections of all taxes herein or hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon; (d) any collections of all taxes heretofore levied tor the payment of the Prior Bonds and interest thereon which are not needed to pay the Prior Bonds as a result of the Refunding; (e) all funds remaining in the Cost ofIssuance Account after ail costs of issuing the Bonds have been paid; (f) any funds remaining on deposit in the Payment Account established for the Prior Bonds after the same have been paid and discharged; (g) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service Account; and (h) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from said account as provided by law. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser offive percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Construction Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then-applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in the Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 16. Special Assessments. The City has heretofore levied special assessments pursuant to the Prior Resolution, which assessments were pledged to the payment of the principal and interest on the Prior Bonds and all uncollected special assessments are now pledged to the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds herein authorized. 17. Tax Levy: Coverage Test. To provide moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds the City has heretofore levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a direct annual ad valorem tax pursuant to the Prior Resolution, which taxes were pledged to the payment of the principal and interest on the Prior Bonds and all uncollected taxes are now pledged to the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds herein authorized. 1279607vl 17 III - i 1" ! I The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of special assessments and other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levies shall be irreparable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 18. Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged as provided in this paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered holders of the Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Bond Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. The City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms, by depositing with the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full, provided that notice of redemption thereof has been duly given. The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable banking institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 8, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required, without regard to sale and/or reinvestment, to pay all amounts to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date. 19. Continuing Disclosure. The City is the sole obligated person with respect to the Bonds. The City hereby agrees, in accordance with the provisions of Rule lSc2-12 (the "Rule"), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the "Undertaking") hereinafter described to: (a) Provide or cause to be provided to each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository ("NRMSIR") and to the appropriate state information depository (" SID"), if any, for the State of Minnesota, in each case as designated by the Commission in accordance with the Rule, certain annual financial information and operating data in accordance with the Undertaking. The City reserves the right to modify from time to time the terms of the Undertaking as provided therein.

The Mayor and Manager of the City, or any other officer of the City authorized to act in their place with "Officers" are hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City the Undertaking in substantially the form presented to the City Council subject to such modifications thereof or additions thereto as are (i) consistent with the requirements under the Rule, (ii) required by the Purchaser of the Bonds, and (iii) acceptable to the Officers. 20. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein. 21. Notices of Call for Redemption. The paying agent for the Prior Bonds, is hereby authorized and directed to give mailed notice of redemption prior to June 1,2001 to all registered holders of the Prior Bonds.

Negative Covenant as to Use of Proceeds and Improvements. The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to use the Improvements, or to cause or permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Improvements, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code. 26. Tax-Exempt Status of the Bonds: Rebate. The City shall comply with requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income under Section 103 of the Code of the interest on the Bonds, including without limitation (1) requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, (2) limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and (3) the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States, if the Bonds (together with other obligations reasonably expected to be issued and outstanding at one time in this calendar year) exceed the small-issuer exception amount of $5,000,000. For purposes of qualifying for the exception to the federal arbitrage rebate requirements for governmental units issuing $5,000,000 or less of bonds, the City hereby finds, determines and declares that (1) the Bonds are issued by a governmental unit with general taxing powers, (2) no Bond is a private activity bond, (3) ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the net proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for local governmental activities of the City (or of a governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City), and (4) the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all subordinate entities thereof, and all entities treated as one issuer with the City) during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued and outstanding at one time is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(t)(4)(D) of the Code. 27. Designation of Oualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City hereby makes the following factual statements and representations: (a) the Bonds are issued after August 7, 1986; (b) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" as defined in Section 141 of the Code; (c) the City hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b )(3) of the Code; (d) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being private activity bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all entities treated as one issuer with the City, and all subordinate entities whose obligations are treated as issued by the City) during this calendar year 2001 will not exceed $10,000,000; and 1279607vl 20 III iii I ! I (e) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during this calendar year 2001 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. (f) the aggregate face amount of the Bonds does not exceed $10,000,000; and (g) the Bonds are issued to refund, and not to "advance refund" the Prior Bonds within the meaning of Section 149(d)(5) of the Code, and shall not be taken into account under the $10,000,000 issuance limit to the extent the Bonds do not exceed the outstanding amount of the Prior Bonds. The City shall use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this paragraph. 28. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this resolution shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this resolution. 29.
